I have my bag and X-man's bag packed in preparation for impending birth. And this time around, my bag doesn't have nearly as much stuff as it did last time...I have a better idea of what I'll actually need.

And you can bet that I've got TC's red vines in the bag!!

I do think I'll bring my boppy as an added pillow help for when I nurse Miss A.

I didn't find the boppy to be at all helpful for nursing at home and I wouldn't suggest it for anyone. But in the hospital bed, I'm hoping that it will help prop her up a bit more than those pitiful hospital pillows did last time. And I'm pretty sure I was at my personal allotment of pillows.

I've got X-man's bag packed with two sets of clothes, some pajamas, a sippy cup, diapers and I'm going to put some snacks in the bag in case he goes to a friend's house who doesn't have children. I don't have any toys in there yet and I probably will make an exception to the "teddy doesn't leave the house" rule just this once. It is a special circumstance.

But what I'm really hoping is that Miss A will come on her due date because my parents are already planning on coming that weekend and then I wouldn't have to worry about who's going to take care of X-man.

Taking the boppy in is a good idea--they certainly don't give enough pillows at the hospital, especially since they are all so flat! I really do like the boppy for nursing, so maybe you'll find it more helpful this time around.

Oh my goodness!! I can't believe Avery's arrival is coming up so quickly!! I am so excited to hear about her birth and to see pictures of your first daughter. How wonderful!!
